Cabarrus Drug Company A DAY OF RARE PLEASURE ! Mr. Editor : « j On Friday, August 10th. the writer enjoyed the rare privilege of attending a birthday gathering Bnd dinner in honor of the aged veteran. ’Squire C. A.- Gussy, at his beautiful quaint old home amid the green topped nnd everlast hills of Scotch- Irish township, Rowan County. This aged citizen of four score and six years, jis erect of stature, elastic in step with i eye undinimed nnd he with his aged help- J meet, whose smile is proverbial, received j many congratulations, and good wishes for a continuation for many years, of their happy state. Seldom is it that such a large com pany meet, after long, long years of sep aration to discuss reminiscences and re new the bonds that have held so long, around a central figure that stands as A lone sentinel and witness to the eventful past. ’Squire Gussy “went through” the civil wap as Lieutenant of Co. G 4th Regi ment and is said to have participated in every battle, save one. in which his com pany was engaged—in that instance he was absent on furlough. Lieut. Gussy was known in war as a man of valor and rare courage anil patriotism and, ever since the hush of war drum and fife has borne himself with the same match less courage through the vicissitudes of life till this good day. He has been a neighbor, friend and counsellor of rare value, and in the hour of duty was nev er found wanting. ; On the above occasion a sumptuous dinner was spread on improvised tables on the green lawn. After dinner a toast was giVeu in the following words by his talented grand-daughter of Randolph- Alneon College—Aliss Rebecca Dayvault: Alany, many years has lie lived. In this world of toil and strife. Alany, many hours has he given For the eause of love and life. I Always ready to do his part, | Be it to a friend or stranger; I Always true to the depths of his heart, I Notwithstanding any danger. In this way has his life been spent 'j So now he eomes to his 86th year Greying somewhat though not bent, | Can't you see he’s an old dear? So. now here’s to the good old, I Dear old. charming old ’Squire, Os his praises we will ever Sing, and never, never fire. After the toast Dixie was started up and the light of the countenance of this lioary.veteran lighted up as he too join ed in the military song while his step and face as Jt were “to Richmond." Short tnlks were made* by Dr. J. E. Smoot and Mr. E. C. Ni block, who journeyed thither to mingle their laugh ter and tears with many that were known of yore. Dr. Smoot, for the assembly, assured the aged couple that their lives lived in the quietude of the hills while their footsteps followed the path that 1 leads to God, had not been lived in vain; but that their sons and daughters had ' gone forth to carry on and today rise up , to call them blessed. He then dwelt up -1 on hallowed memories and friendships ■ and vicissitudes of life and, in the reali zation of the lowering of the sands in the hourglass of time, assured the old and ‘ young that “the best is just ahead.’’ Mr. Nibloek dwele beautifully ■upon the spirit of national devotion in 1 this sad hour of our common fallen Pres ; idem and, the spirit of friendliness and ’’Old time'’ TmttjpV* '• sung on the. lawn V«i we reluctMtiy left j ■ this scene of pleasure. ’’Such are some of the recollections which link the memories of ’a man who has lived hjs half century, to those? of the preceding age, apd which serve to re mind him how one generation of men af ter another break and disappear on the shores of the eternal world, as wave af ter wave breaks in foam upon the beach. When storms are rising, and the grand Swell sets in heavily from the sea.” ,i. e. smoot. Back Creek Home Coining.
